Thank you for your interest in applying to the Augustine Institute’s Graduate School of Theology! In this application, we hope to learn more about your motivations for pursuing an advanced degree in Theology. In this online application, the Admission’s Committee hopes to learn more about you and your desire to be a co-worker in the New Evangelization. You will be invited to include both a personal statement as well as an essay responding to a papal teaching.

Here in the Admissions Office our priority is to accompany each applicant along the path of discernment. To that end, we strive to establish an open process of communication with each applicant. In order to allot adequate time to process your application, we ask for applications to be complete 1 month in advance of your intended start date (see priority deadlines below). Keep in mind that frequently the most time consuming part of your application is waiting for the submission of letters of recommendation. You may apply after the priority deadline, but should you be accepted, your space is not ensured, and you may be asked to defer to the following semester.

Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your application. Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Admissions with questions regarding the application process.admissions@augustineinstitute.org

International Applicants

In addition to the checklist requirements, foreign nationals must do one of the following:

Submit your TOEFL scores (Test of English as a Foreign Language) with your application (Note: The TOEFL is a very costly test).

OR

Request that your admissions essay be considered as evidence of competency in the English language.

You will be evaluated on your English competency by the Admission’s Committee in order to determine your capacity for success in graduate studies. It is often the case that foreign nationals for whom English is a second language are recommended to pursue coursework on a non-degree seeking basis.

*On Campus Applications
At this time, the Augustine Institute is not a SEVIS authorized school, and therefore is not authorized to issue the I-20 form, which is required for your student visa application. The Department of Homeland Security requires a information protocol on nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to be collected during the course of their stay. Receiving a SEVIS authorization requires a great deal of resources and responsibility that we cannot afford at this time but may be able to achieve in the coming years as the graduate school grows.
